THROGGS NECK, N.Y. (March 28, 2010) – The Maritime baseball team was swept in a conference doubleheader by St. Joseph's on a rainy Sunday at Reinhart Field.

The Golden Eagles scored quickly in the first inning, on a 3-run homer by cleanup batter, Chris Wright.

Three innings later, in the bottom of the fourth, freshman Christopher Santoro (Lindenhurst, N.Y./Lindenhurst) (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) tied the game at 3-3 with a one-out, solo home run to right.

The Eagles added four more – just two earned – in the top of the sixth and then three more in the ninth to pull ahead, 12-3. An RBI-single by sophomore Jonathan Proscia (Franklin Square, N.Y./Holy Trinity) (Franklin Square, N.Y.) in the bottom of the ninth ended the scoring for the game.
